Wooden blinds give any room an elegant and stylish appearance, but are they suitable for the room you want them for? We look at the choice between wood and faux wood blinds to let you decide which one is right for your needs.
Wood vs Faux blinds
When deciding on window blinds, you need to consider factors such as durability, ease of maintenance and resistance to temperatures.
Real Wood blinds should last for many years with proper care, but as a natural product, they are more prone to wear and tear over time. Faux-wood blinds provide the same look and feel as wood, but they are more robust.
Wood blinds
Real wood blinds are more expensive, but they increase the value of your home and can be a wise investment. The rich texture of wood has a timeless appeal and complements traditional and elegant décor, as well as contemporary styles.
Real wood blinds are unique. Each one is one-of-a-kind because of the unique qualities of the wood grain. Faux wood mimics real wood well but cannot replicate the uniqueness of wooden blinds.
Wood is a natural insulator, provides more protection from weather conditions and is more energy efficient.
However, wooden blinds require more regular cleaning to keep them looking good and prevent damage. Water should be avoided as wood absorbs water.
Faux wood – Eco Wood
Faux wood looks like real wood but is made from a more durable synthetic material.
Faux wood blinds are perfect for humid rooms like bathrooms and kitchens where blinds are exposed to moisture. Faux wood blinds are moisture-resistant and won't warp or rot like real wood.
Faux wood is more affordable and requires little maintenance. These blinds only need regular dusting or a wipe with a damp cloth.
